1uEulX my uIOG OV0UluR 10 COO mouse q
young lady visitor was present, who
was introduced to mo simply - Mary.
She was blind. I had listened but .
short time to the conversation Of those
people before / learned that they were
almost monomaniacs on the subject
of mesmerism, and / afterwardl learned
that tho bling girl Mary was q clairvoy-
ant subject OF DR.. L. Grand, q we'll
known French physician, whoprofessed
to cure diseases by mesmerism.
"Befors retiring that night I went
out to restaurant in Park Row for q
plate Of oysters. When returned to
the boarding house, having been gone
q little over half an hour, the front
door, which had carefully fastened,
was wide open, lights were glancing
about, and there were sounds of con-
fusion in tho upper part of the house.
I was told that DR.. Hathaway had had
q fit, and that DR.. Van Duren, DR.. Par
ker and another physician whose name
1 can not recall, had been sent for and
were in attendance. Finding I could
be of no service, I went to bed, and
next morning tho landlady informed
me that tho Doctors fit was q slight
attack Of apoplsxy, unaccompanied
with paralysis, and that no would
probably be all right in q few days.
He was not all right, however, either
in q few days or few weeks.
"Before the end of tho month NOV
ed uptown, but about tho latter part
of March, having business downtown,
I called at my old boarding place.
found DR.. Hathaway seated in his
room in an invalid chair, not quite
cheerful, but apparently not ailing
much, although he complained of q
slight pain in tho right side of his head.
As was leaving tho house tho land
lady drew me into her room and ask
ed me what thought of DR.. Hatha-
ways case. My reply was: 'TheDoc-
tor Is doing we'll. If he will get out
and take moderate exercise he will
soon be entirely well.'
"She shook her head mournfully,
and said: 'Hewill neverget out again.
He will never leave that room alive
"'What reason have you for such q
melancholy supposition?' asked.
'Mary says So
"'What! Has Mary been frighten-
ing you with her flummery?" 1 asked.
"'No; Mary has not been in the
house since the night you met her here, I"
she replied. AT DR.. Hathaway's re-
quest I went to consult her at DR.. Le
Grand's Office. She went into a trance
and examined DR.. Hathaway. She
says that the inside of the skull, on
the right side, il all sore and ulcerated,
and that there are three Jumps on tho
right side of his brain as large as hick-
DRY nuts; that he will never get overit;
that it will all be over with him by the
LIST of May, and that you will be pres
ent at the post mortsm examination
"Me?'
"You.'
"'What suggested such IN idea a.
that?"
"Idon't know. hesometimes takes
great interest In strangers she casually
meets: She knows a great deal about
your future
'The fortune telling charlatan." I
Thought. Of course I was q tribe too
polite to express my opinion aloud,
and after a few commonplace remarks
took my leave.
"During the next month my mind was
otherwise 50 much occupied that al
most entirely forgot the afflicted ply
sician; but on the last day of April,
when I sat down to my dinner, 1 was
startled to find on my plate . note an
nouncing DR.. Hathaway's death, and
inviting mo to be present at q post
norton examination at 10 O'Clock
next morning. When l entered the
death chamber at the appointed hour
Hound several eminent physicians and
surgeons assembled there. DR.. Moses,
who was then demonstrators of anat.
omy at the university of New York,
was conducting tho autopsy: When
the top 81 the Uranium was removed
from the brain, and handed around for
inspection what was my surprise to see
that the lining membrane on the right
side had been extensively inflamed,
exactly as the blind clairvoyant had
described, and further, upon cutting
into tho substance of the brain on the
right side, three large tubercles were
found, q rare and remarkable patho-
logical condition.
''That was very remarkable"
eyes, but at tho funeral CHANGED
to ride in the same carriage with q rel-
alive of the deceased, who told
me that q sister of DR.. Hathaway had
died some years before, after suffer-
about the same length of time with
similar symptoms, and that the same
pathological conditions had been found
on post mortem examinations"

Jere Dunn il one of tho bad men OF
New York city. He is a man of irwin
chile courage, and gamblers and fight
ers of every degree are in absolutef fear
of him. "1t is not only because he killed
Elliott and Hughes, but because he is
known to be always armed, quick as q
fash, and utterly ignorant of the
meaning of tho word fear. If Dunn
happened to be little more refined in
manner, he would be q double of the
gambler John Oakhurst;- whom Brets
Harte introduced in so many of his
early sketches. He is usually called q
handsome man. Hehas square face,
q well-trimmed dark beard, parted in
the middle, and he always wears a
perfectly.fitting frock coat and
q high hat. The expression oi
his face is stern, alert and fixed.
He is as tranquil as q wooden Indian.
The first time the writer ever saw him
was Immediately after the killing Of
Elliott in Chicago. A party was going
to prize fight in Flushing, and
among fifty or sixty persons present
there were about forty of tho toughest
c;f;1nro ~ Man. V@rL NJ 49,
